Jessica and I sometimes have to pay close attention to understand what Abigail is singing, if we ever actually do pick up the words. But the girl certainly knows how to put on a show.

“In-sane-let-tuce!”

Flailing hands. Flailing hands.

Actually, she’s got a few songs down. For example, she can sing the entirety of Ring Around the Rosey.

“It-is-wet-ness!”

Spin, stomp, flail. Spin, stomp, flail.

It’s not all at what you’d call the right speed, and if you don’t prompt her for the next line, you get an endless series of “Ashes,” but it’s a whole song and she can sing it. She is also pretty good at falling down, which is a key part of that song.

“I’m-Stan-wit-ness!”

Jump, laugh, jump, laugh.

She has also been known to grab her stuffed Halloween cat and shake it up and down singing, “Jingle Bells! Jingle Bells!” I think that forms a nice juxtaposition.

“In-the-win-this!”

Arms up, big finish.

We’re still working on “Evita.” She keeps coming in too early and then starts crying for Argentina instead of the other way around.
